Default Re: Syllabus and examination pattern of civil services examination?

First of all, in the month of May or June there are the “Preliminary examinations”. Now, in this examination, there are two papers. The papers are on:

1. General Studies (150 marks)
2. Some optional subject (300 marks)

This exam is just to get you to the next round of the “main exam”. This is just to short list candidates. The score you get here is NOT added to your final score.

Now, you are probably wondering what “general studies” and “some optional subject” means, so let us clear that up!

General Studies paper consists of questions on:

1. Indian Polity & Economy
2. History of India including Indian National Movement
3. Indian and World Geography
4. Current Affairs of National and International Importance
5. General and day-to-day Science
6. Mental Ability and Basics of Statistics etc.

Questions on planning, budgeting, developmental programs, latest issues of political and constitutional importance, panchayati raj, electoral reforms, natural resources, culture, growth of nationalism, Committees, Commission etc can be expected every year.

Now-a-days, there is a lot of emphasis on “current affairs” in the general studies paper!

Basically, the syllabus is HUGE and vague. But, don’t worry we shall try to help you with what you need to do.

Here you have to give a paper on a subject of your choice. You can choose from the following subjects:

* Agriculture
* Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science
* Botany
* Chemistry
* Civil Engineering
* Commerce
* Economics
* Electrical Engineering
* Geography
* Geology
* Indian History
* Law
* Mathematics
* Mechanical Engineering
* Medical Science
* Philosophy
* Physics
* Political Science
* Psychology
* Public Administration
* Sociology
* Statistics
* Zoology

As, you know, to give the exam you need to be a “graduate” in some field. People generally choose their optional subject as the same subject that they graduated in. However, there is no such compulsion. You can choose any subject and give your "optional subject paper" for that subject.

Now, in the main examination, there are “9” papers that you have to give! These papers include:

* 1 Essay type Indian Language Qualifying Paper (300 marks)
* 1 English Qualifying Paper (300 marks)
* 1 General Essay type paper (200 marks)
* 2 General Studies papers (300 marks each)
* 4 Optional subjects papers (300 marks each)
